Category: Lime Putty Rendering

At A1 Complete Builders, our Lime Putty Rendering service restores the charm, breathability and natural durability of traditional buildings. Using lime putty renders rather than modern cement, we help ensure walls can gently absorb and release moisture—reducing the risk of damp, improving internal comfort, and preserving historic masonry.

Whether it’s external walls, internal surfaces or decorative features, we carefully select the right mix, proportion and finish to suit the substrate, climate and architectural style. Our process includes preparing surfaces, repairing any structural defects, applying base coats, and finishing with smooth or textured lime finishes, all applied with skill and attention to detail.

Perfect for listed buildings, cob walls, older homes or heritage properties, lime putty render contributes to long-life performance and aesthetic authenticity. From matching traditional finishes to custom colour washes or lime washes, we offer solutions that look beautiful, perform well, and align with conservation best practice. With A1 Complete Builders, your building will not only be well-protected but respectfully restored.

Gwarnick Mill - 2013

This former coach house over the years has had various works undertaken by various builders but done with cement render. Unfortunately not suitable for this general construction as it is of stone and cob.

A1 Complete Builders removed all cement render from all walls external to the property and some internal also.

We have restored the sides and rear of the property back to its former glory and applied Lime Putty Render to allow this beautiful property to BREATH once again but as you can see the front of the property revealed all stone and no cob. The clients then decided to keep this appearance and asked A1 to Point with Lime Mortar.

At present A1 is still at Gwarnick Mill undertaking various internal and external work, to include fitting of an oak decking area and replacement of old floor boards etc.
